Performance
FIRE

In today’s architecture, it is the technical details as well as the appearance that count; such as sustainability, thermal insulation and fire protection.

Visually, Alyclad is like traditional composite panel, however what makes it different is the fact that it is constructed from 100% aluminium,
rather than combustible material such as polyethylene and fire rated mineral. This makes Alyclad an ideal product for all applications where
non-combustible panels are required, such as high-rise buildings, schools or hospitals.

As with all building products, the use of Alyclad must be authorised by the regulatory body. The Fire Resistance standards achieved with standard Alyclad
are as follows:

Installation Details
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

• All sheets should be installed in the same direction as marked on the protective film to prevent possible finish variation.

• As minor colour variation can occur between production lots, it is recommended to place total requirement for a project in one order
to ensure colour consistency.

• Where aluminium materials come in contact with dissimilar metals, a proper insulator or isolation tape should be applied to insulate
between dissimilar materials in order to avoid corrosive and electrolytic action.

• For Cassette Fix, the returns between panel joints should not be caulked before film is removed.

• Please ensure Alyclad is used as part of a compliant wall system, with all components complying with the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions
of the relevant NCC, or approved as part of a performance solution. Consult with a professional to get their expert opinion.

PROTECTIVE FILM

• Make sure no damage will occur to the panel following removal of protective film.

• Remove protective film within 45 days of installation to avoid glue residue on panel surface due to weathering.

• Do not apply PVC tapes, polyurethane sealant or silicone sealant onto Alyclad protective film. The plasticiser contained in these materials
can penetrate the protective film and cause a gloss change in the coating.

• Do not apply spray paint or permanent marker to the film as the colour may penetrate the film and affect the panel.

SEQUENCE

As a rule, the sequence of installation is as follows:

1. Installation of the water membrane as per manufacturers requirements.

2. Installation of top hats, levelled and fixed as per wind loading requirements.

3. Alyclad panels fabricated and prepared for installation.

4. Installation of fabricated Alyclad panels, fixing through Z angles to top hats as per wind loading requirements.

5. Caulking applied to panel joints as per manufacturers requirements.

6. Removal of protective film within 45 days of installation.

Fabrication Details
FABRICATION CONSIDERATIONS

CUTTING

Alyclad can be cut with a wall-saw, circular saw, bandsaw or jigsaw. The requirements for a circular saw are identical
to that for cutting solid aluminium.

TOOLING (CNC) 6.35mm Upspiral Cutter 1 or 2 flute

FEED/SPEEDS RPM: 18,000 / SPEED: 6-10 m/min

COMMENTS Clean panel edges if not all swarf is removed.

GROOVING

Grooving Alyclad is a simple and easy process, very similar to grooving traditional ACP.

TOOL (CNC) 90 degree V-groover with 2-3mm flat

COMMENTS
0.80

Groove on a flat, even surface to ensure depth accuracy

and consistency.

CONTOUR CUTTING

Alyclad panel can be contour cut with water jets, CNC routers, copy routers and jigsaws. Coolant is recommended
for router processing.

FOLDING

There must be between 0.7mm and 1mm of aluminium left at the base of the routed groove. Too much material
can cause stress and result in a larger radius fold than desired. It will also make folding the panel more difficult
and prevent the required fold angle from being obtained.

14
 ALYCLAD - TECHNICAL INFORMATION

SHEARING

Shearing can be done with a guillotine. Ensure the blanking tools are padded. Shearing causes a slight roll down
along the cut edge of the panel.

PUNCHING

The punching of flat formed parts from Alyclad is performed in the same way as a solid aluminium sheeting, using sharp tools
and dies with minimal cutting clearance. Varying shapes may easily be punched with normal aluminium punching machinery.
As with shearing, a slight roll down may occur.

ROLL BENDING

Alyclad panel can be bent with a roll-bending machine. Use polished rollers free of imperfections only with a minimum radius
of 200mm.

SCREWING

Alyclad can be screwed with conventional stainless steel or galvanised screws for metal. For outdoor use,
allow for thermal expansion.

RIVETING

Riveting is possible with the usual equipment and solid rivets or blind rivets. For outdoor use allow for thermal expansion.

DRILLING

Alyclad panel can be drilled with centre point twist drills normally used for aluminium or machines common for metals.
Drill material: High-Speed Steel (HSS).

BENDING

Bending is possible with a folding table or brake press. The inside bending radius is roughly 5 times the Alyclad panel thickness.
Use protective foils. For serial production, tests should be made on sample panels.
